The Homes of England.

It is very delightful to find ones self
in one Of these English country residen-
ces, says Oliver Weudail Holmes in the
Atlantic, The house is commonly old
and has a history. 1t IS oltentimes it
self a record, like that old farmhouse
my friend John Bellows wrote to me
about, which chroniclcd half a dozen
reigns by architectural marks as exactly
as if it had been an official register.
''The stately homes Of Eugland" as we
see them at Wilton and Longforl Castle
are not more admirable in their spIen-
dors than the "blesscd homes of Eng
land" in their modest beauty. Every
where one may see here old parsonages
by the side of ivy-mant'el churches, and
the comfortable mansions where genera
tions of country squjres have lived in
peace, while their sons have gone forth
to fight Eagland's battles, and carry her
flags of war and commerce all over the
world. We in America can hardly be
said to have such a posse ession as a fami-
ly home. We cncamp-not under cam
vas, but in fabrics of wood or more
lasting materials which are pulled down
after brief occupancy, by the builders,
and possibly their children, or are mod
ernized so that the former dwellers in
them would never recognize their old
ha bitatiOns.

Lee and His Men,

G N. Lee held SO completely the ad-
miration and confidence of his men that
his conduct of Campaign was rarely
criticised. Whatever Gen. Lee did, his
men thought it the best that could be
done under the Cir rcumstances. Their
feeling toward him is we'll illustrated by
the remark of the ragged rebel who
took IF his hat to the General as he was
passing and received like courteous
salute in return:
God bless Marse Robertl I wish he
was Emperor of this country ami I was
his carriage driver. - Century Maga

Unwilling an Indian Image.

A rock which the Sioux Indians near
For Yates, D. T., have worshipped for
generations as the pctrifed form of a
young squaw was formally unveiled the
other day and dedicated to peace and
plenty. 1t appears that the white set
tiers of the place have long supposed
that this specimen of natures art work
excrted a restraining influence on the
Indians, but Of late the rock was re-
moved from its original resting place,
and it was feared that with its removal
its charm had disappeared. So the sug-
gestion was made to Sitting Bull that
the statue be placed upon a permanent
pedestal and unveiled with appropriate
ceremonies. This pleased the chieftain,
and 500 Indians assembled to take part
in the strange medley of Christian and
pagan rites by which the unveiling was
accompanied.

For month in dust hast lain.

And thy place shall know thee not
Some sweet bird may sit and sing
On the marble of thy tomb,
Sooa 10 fit on joyous wing
From that place of death and gloom.
IN some bough to warble clear;
But these songs thou shalt not hear.
some kind voice may sing tiny praise,
Passing near thy place of rest,
FoudIy talk of other days.
But no throb within thy breast
Shall respond to words of praise,
Or old thoughts of other days"
Since so fleeting is thy name,

Thou in Gods great book were writ
There is golden words to be

G. 4 A. Extension.

From the Springfield Leader.
\ meeting has been called at the
Cart House for Moudry night for
the purpose Of appointing . live and
able committee Of representative
business men to attend the railroad
meeting to he held at Jefferson City
uext Saturday, IN the interest of the
extension of the Chicago & Alton
from Cedar City to Springfield.
The meeting should be largely at
tended and capable committee ap-
pointed that will 90 to Jefferson City
and work for the extension.
The Leader has brought this mat
ter before the people of Springfield
lately, and there is no need to dis
cuss the advantages which would ac-
euro 10 the city from the advent of
the Chicago 4 Alton road. Every
body understands and appreciates
them. The tins has now come for
work.
1t is Il source of great satisfaction
to know hat Springfield will be ably
assisted in this matter by Mexico,

counties On the line of the proposed

THE GRAND ARMY.

Certain small politicians of the Re-
publican persuasion are very much
concerned because q good many west
ern Democrats, it is alleged, are
joining the Grand Army of the Re-
public.
To be eligible to membership in
this order a man must be an honora-
bly, discharged soldier of the Union
Army. Senator ingalls, has recently
declared negro suffrage to be "a
failure" because the assumption up
on which the negroes were enfran-
chised-''so many negroes, SO many
Republican voters"-has not been
borne out by subsequent events. No
doubt some Of the politicians will
declare the Grand Army to be a fail
ure when they discover hal thou
sands Ct Democrats are already mem
bers or eligible to membership. But
the men who "wore the blue" know
well, and freely concede, that if no
Democrats had enlisted or fought
for the Union the result Of the war
would have been different.
As for the alleged hostility of the
Grand Army to President Cleveland
on account of his veto Of the De-
pendent Pension Bill, it is 10 be re-
membered that the Order has never
Endorsed this measure, while many of
its prominent members have thanked
the President for a veto which saved
main and deserving pensioners from
being placed on 3 level with sinks
and paupers. The President has
been invited to st. Louis by 10000
of the citizens Of that town, and has
signified his purpose to accept the
courtesy. People who do not wish
to see him can easily avoid it by
keeping ont of the way. But that
gentleman and soldiers would in
suit the Commander-in-Chief of the
Army because Of q difference in poll
tics OF disapprovai of an official act
which is one of the best of his Adj
iu:fI-tratlOn i iucredjbic.

More Law.

To the Editor of the Ledger.
MExICo, No, June S.-With your
permission | will give to the readers of
the LEDGER q little more law, which
may tend to stop some complaints so
often made.
Section 5O13, page 1874, Revised
Statutes of Missouri, reads:
The Constable or Marshal ap-
pointed by the trustees of the in
habitants of such towns giving bond
and ample security for the perform
anc of his duties is hereby authoriz-
ed to execute orders and process
arising under the ordinances of said
town; and who, within The corporate
limits Of said town, shall have con-
current power with the Constable of
the municipal township in which
said town is situated, to execute all
orders, notices, writs and other pro-
cess and duties that may be executed
by the Constable Of said township
with like effect and shall! receive the
same fees therefore,"
Therefore it is easy to see that the
people have their own choice as to
the Justice and Constable also; they
can file their claim with the Justice
and then have the directed
as set forth 1t is useless for me to
explain why that / ask you to pub

here knows why and what is the

COLUMBIA, No, June 7.-OD the
night Of May %, q train on the Wa

Of keoner, at Sturgeon, this (Boone)
county. Circumstances led to the
belief that the man had been killed

quent developments resulted in the
arrest of q negro living at Sturgeon,
named Sam Reed, who told that an
other negro named Milt Patrick had
killed koener. Patrick was then ar
rested also. Later Reed changed his
story, saying t!.at John Smith, a
white man, living at Sturgeon, had
killed koener, and had bred him
(Reed) to help carry and place the
body on the track. Smith was then
arrested ny the township officers, and
the trio turned over TO Sheriff j. G.
